A sextile is an aspect that reveals cooperation and opportunity between 2 planets. Now we all know, where there is cooperation, it makes things easier and ease opens the door for "opportunity" to come in. A sextile is a 60° angle (8° "orb" or less) between two planets. Naturally more than two planets may be involved due to conjunctions that are listed above. Remember, conjunctions are planets that sit side by side. And if you have two planets that are side by side that make a 60° angle to another planet, then that creates 2 sextiles, one from each "conjunct" planet to the third (sextile) planet.

Sextiles are considered a "soft" or "easy" aspects that reflect the planets involved. They have a way of delivering you an opportunity. It's as if the phone is ringing or there is a knock at the door. Again, it is your choice to answer the opportunity. Opportunities can reveal themselves under the strangest of circumstances.
Even though they are "soft" and "easy" aspects, you still have to do the work. For instance, you may desire to be in a healing or teaching profession, but you still have to obtain the education and license necessary in order to manifest the profession. So you can sit and dream about it, moan about it, or complain about it OR you can do the necessary work to make it happen. You reap what you sow! If you do the necessary work to manifest your dreams and desires, then you'll reap the benefits of your discipline, dedication and committment. It's just that much sweeter!

Sextiles are much like an apprentice, journeyman, student or trainee. This innate talent that you have; the natural "gifts" and "skills" you've been given are churning and being perfected.

This is raw talent baby!!!

Now, over time you may have to work and cultivate this talent until it's just ripe for picking. Then "BOOM," unleash it and the harvest will be there.

The easiest way to remember when a sextile takes places is when one Sun Sign is separated by another Sun Sign by only one Sun Sign (on either side of it). So that means every other Sun Sign is sextile to the other. In other words, there is one Sun Sign between two Sun Signs.
